Working with a new elder law attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Teddy usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Teddy discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in elder law practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Teddy for a elder law case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Teddy walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Teddy offer a free consultation?

  Teddy charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Teddy's office. Some elder law attorneys offer free consults — check Teddy's current terms during booking.

• How long do elder law cases in Kentucky typically take?

  Simple elder law matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Teddy gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Teddy take my case if I'm outside Lexington?

  Teddy is licensed in Kentucky. Matters governed by Kentucky law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Teddy will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Teddy?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Teddy will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Teddy accepting new elder law clients right now?

  Teddy's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
